What’s Southwestern Michigan without a beach party? Even in 60-degree weather (that’s about 15, for the rest of the world), we bunch of brave journalists enjoyed a fish fry this past Monday night followed by a bonfire beside big rollers roaring in on the beach. We roasted marshmallows, made smores and dismissed the increasing rain as simply surf blowing in, in favour of enjoying the fire, local wine, good company and conversation. It was there, outside Michi-Mona-Mac Lakeshore Cottages, that I snapped this shot of two brave souls baring their soles.
